@ExternalResource - key should default to name of annotated field instead of the field type name

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While analyzing some comments on uimaFIT recently on the UIMA users mailing 
list, it occurred to me that the default value for "key" should probably be the 
name of the annotated field, not the name of the type of the annotated field. 
That means

  public static final String FOO_KEY = "foo";
  @ExternalResource(key = FOO_KEY)
  private Foo foo;

could be written as simply

  @ExternalResource
  private Foo foo;

However, this would mean that 

  bindResource(desc, DummyResource.class);

wouldn't work anymore, because this kind of binding relies on the fact that the 
key defaults to the field type name. I think though, that this is a rather rare 
case.

Btw. the UIMA mailing list post is:
